SGI Launches Entry Woodcrest Xeon, Itanium Linux Supers
,----[ Quote ]
| X86 and X64 clusters running Linux are utterly dominating the
| supercomputing landscaping, but SGI has been trying to peddle the
| technically more sophisticated NUMAflex interconnect, which allows
| thousands of Itanium processors to share a single memory space and
| which makes many applications run better than massively parallel
| clusters using cheap Xeons.

| The servers currently support Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
| and will support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 in July. The future releases
| of these two Linuxes--SLES 10 and RHEL 5--will be supported when they
| become available.
